It is generally believed that this is related to the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. At this time, women should choose foods that are not only beneficial to skin care, but also beneficial to qi, soothing the liver and regulating bad mood, such as cabbage, grapefruit, lean pork, celery, japonica rice, duck eggs, fried atractylodes, yam, coix seed, lily, honeydew melon, wax gourd, kelp, sea cucumber, carrot, white radish, walnut kernel, black fungus and mushroom.
Second, when menstrual cramps occur, there will be symptoms such as poor appetite, backache and fatigue.
At this time, it is advisable to choose foods that are beneficial to both skin beauty and water travel. Suitable foods and traditional Chinese medicines are mutton, chicken, red dates, bean curd skin, apples, coix seed, beef, milk, eggs, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, prepared rehmannia root, peach blossom and so on.
Traditional Chinese medicine mentioned that when traveling through water, heat is often used instead of cold, and cold stops its blood, which makes it endless and full of stranguria. Therefore, during menstruation, many foods that have a good skin-benefiting and beauty-caring effect should also be fasted, such as pears, bananas, water chestnuts, stone ears, stone flowers, water chestnuts, white gourd, kale, black fungus, rabbit meat, hemp seeds and so on.
Because of this, when women have menstrual cramps, they will lose some blood. The main components of blood are plasma protein and inorganic salts such as potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium. In other words, a part of protein and inorganic salts will be lost every time.
Therefore, in principle, protein, minerals and other nutrients should be supplemented and some blood tonic drugs should be used within 1~5 days after menstruation. During this period, you can choose foods and traditional Chinese medicines that can not only benefit skin and beautify, but also enrich blood and promote blood circulation, such as milk, eggs, pigeon eggs, quail eggs, beef, mutton, pig pancreas, Euryale euryales, spinach, cherries, longan, litchi, carrots, apples and angelica.
